A user's rights on a directory are effectively moot unless s/he has "l" permissions on every ancestor directory (up to the volume root). So you could say that the "transitive" acl of a directory is its acl minus permissions which cannot currently be exercised by virtue of the acls on its ancestors.
I'm interested in a simple utility to print out this sort of effective acl. For bonus points, query the pts database and factor in group membership (for example, a group you belong to has "l" on parent and you personally have "l" on the directory itself). Has anybody written this already, or should I take a crack at it? - a -- PGP/GPG: 5C9F F366 C9CF 2145 E770 B1B8 EFB1 462D A146 C380 _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
